It’s been eons since we got a political update the majority of the world would call “good,” but at least this one is more within the category of “exceedingly dumb” than “Earth-shatteringly heinous.” We’re talking, of course, about Drake’s new beef with Jagmeet Singh, the former leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, which is unsurprisingly related to the rapper’s old beef with Kendrick Lamar.
Last week, Lamar and SZA performed two sold out shows on their Grand National tour in Toronto, aka Drake’s home city. Tens of thousands of Drake’s countrymen pledged their allegiance to the enemy by scooping up a ticket to sing “Not Like Us” in his backyard, one of whom was Singh. After photos of the politician emerged from the show, Drake took to Instagram to express his disappointment in the fellow Canadian. “You’re a goof,” he wrote in a DM to Singh, which he then screenshotted and posted on his own story, per Billboard.
Those fightin’ words clearly got to Singh, who publicly apologized for his attendance at the show a few hours later. “I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” he posted in his own Instagram story. “I was born in this city. I love this city.”
“But real talk, I get it. I shouldn’t have gone at all,” he continued, lauding Drake and his label, OVO, for “lift[ing] up this city and [Canadian flag emoji].” “For me it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick,” he concluded. At least it’s nice to see a politician apologizing for once.
